County remembers first responders who made ultimate sacrifice
BY MARIA ALLARD allard@candgnews.com
MOUNT CLEMENS —
The 38 Macomb County first responders who have died in the line of duty were honored during the annual Macomb County Fallen Heroes Memorial ceremony held Sept. 11.
The remembrance, which included a 21-gun salute, was held in front of the Macomb County Courthouse, the location of the Fallen Heroes statue. The names of the fire and police personnel, their departments and their ends of watch — dating back to 1910 — are etched in the sculpture. Their memories live on each time someone visits the site or sits on a patio bench in front of the courthouse.
The ceremony began when the Roseville Honor Guard presented the colors, Jaremy Davis sang “The Star-Spangled Banner” and Roseville Fire Chaplain Mike Barthel provided the invocation.
Veteran advocate Pat Daniels remembered Frank Blowers, who

for competency
BY ANDY KOZLOWSKI akozlowski@candgnews.com
EASTPOINTE — An Eastpointe woman accused of stabbing her manager to death at a McDonald’s drive-thru window is undergoing a psychiatric evaluation to determine whether she is fit to stand trial for first-degree murder.
The latest development in the case of suspect Afeni Badu Muhammad, 27, was announced by the office of Macomb County Prosecutor Peter Lucido Sept. 3.
Earlier that day, a hearing was held in 38th District Court regarding the suspect’s competency and criminal responsibility in the incident. Muhammad had been interviewed by a psychiatrist the week prior, and a full report is expected later this month.

Lucido continues push for child support specialty court
Hearings would be last chance for unpaid child support providers
BY DEAN VAGLIA dvaglia@candgnews.com
MACOMB COUNTY — Following a meeting with judicial officials on Sept. 4, Macomb County Prosecutor Peter Lucido is moving forward with the creation of a child support specialty court within the 16th Circuit Court in Mount Clemens.
Under Lucido’s plan, the proposed court would operate similarly to other specialty courts within the 16th Circuit by directly handling cases where child support payers are in arrears. The goal of the court is to get compliance from the payers, thereby helping reduce the amount of unpaid child support across Michigan.
“Today, the state of Michigan has $5.6 billion in outstanding uncollected child support, of which Wayne County is about $3.5 billion — more than half,” Lucido said. “Macomb County is at about $300 million, and Oakland County is about the same.
“How do we make any headway or progress when nothing is being done to collect these child support arrearages?” he said. “They’ve gone up every year, they haven’t come down and the question is do we need to support the children when they’re children or get the money to the parent that is being paid after they become adults?”
Work within the prosecutor’s office has already recovered $3.3 million in un-
paid child support in the last two years by simply seeking compliance from payers, but the specialty court would take the mission of securing compliance further by bringing on Michigan Works! Macomb/St. Clair to help place unemployed child support payers into jobs or job training programs with court supervision. Those programs or jobs would help the payers avoid a felony charge, stay out of prison and fulfill their obligation to provide for their children.
“Michigan Works! is most known for sending people back to school, but one of the lesser-known services we do is direct placement,” said Justin Al-Igoe, executive director of Michigan Works! Macomb/St. Clair. “Most of our work with this population, while training is certainly an option if

Decade-long criminal sexual conduct case ends in sentencing
BY BRIAN WELLS bwells@candgnews.com
MACOMB COUNTY — A case that has taken more than a decade to reach its conclusion ended with a sentencing.
Anthony Joseph Veach was sentenced after pleading no contest to three counts of first-degree criminal sexual conduct (relationship) related to multiple accusations of sexually assaulting a family member who was 14 and 15 years old in Warren, Eastpointe and Sterling Heights.
Veach’s plea, which was entered in July, guarantees that he will remain imprisoned for a term of years and be subject to lifetime electronic monitoring and mandatory life-
time registration on the sex offender registry, according to a press release from the Macomb County Prosecutor’s Office.
Veach was sentenced Aug. 27 in front of Circuit Court Judge Joseph Toia. Terms of his sentencing agreement meant Veach will serve 11 to 25 years on each charge, with sentences running concurrently, according to the press release.
“Although criminal sexual conductfirst degree (relationship) is punishable by any term of years up to life imprisonment, the sentencing agreement in this case falls

Officials to consider Crescentwood traffic proposal
BY MARIA ALLARD allard@candgnews.com
EASTPOINTE/WARREN — Discussions have begun between Eastpointe Community Schools and Warren officials on a traffic proposal at Crescentwood Elementary School.
The school is located at 14500 Crescentwood Ave. in
Warren. At the Sept. 8 Board of Education meeting, Superintendent Christina Gibson provided details on the proposal during her superintendent’s report.
ECS officials will be asking the city of Warren to allow the district to connect the dead end on Eastwood Boulevard, located near the school, to create a one-way drive lane into the school’s parking lot as an entrance for parent drop-off and pickup.
“Our school of Crescentwood does live in the city of Warren,” Gibson said. “We are proposing that inbound traffic into Crescentwood would come down Eastwood, would flow through a two-lane drop-off; one for parking and dropping (off) and one for continuing to move and flow through traffic.”
The traffic proposal is meant to improve safety for stu-

Proper planning takes seniors abroad worry-free

Traveling as a senior can be daunting, but with travel professionals and the right shoes, it can be smooth sailing all the way to your “bucket list” destination.
Jeffery Leonardi, a travel professional and the owner of Travel Time Vacations in Shelby Township, said a lot of seniors want to connect with their roots by visiting their country of origin, including many countries in Europe. He also sees a lot of seniors visiting places like Alaska. The state in particular has been popular with seniors and their families.
“I have a lot of 50th anniversary trips and they want to take their family,” Leonardi said.
He specializes in group trips as well.
Other popular trips for seniors include getaways to view the northern lights and, for Macomb County in particular, Palermo, Sicily, since many Italians in the area can trace their roots back to the country.

“Then there are people who just want to travel, and they want to make sure they’re safe and that’s my job,” Leonardi said.
Leonardi said the trips he books are fully insured, with secured bookings. He said the most important thing for seniors is feeling safe on their trips. A good way to accomplish that, he said, is through travel protection insurance.

Police Citizen’s Award presented to bystander who
BY MARIA ALLARD allard@candgnews.com
EASTPOINTE — Devonte Pace, the McDonald’s customer who did all he could to stop the attack on Jennifer Harris July 10, was recognized last month for his actions. At the Aug. 19 City Council meeting, Police Chief Corey Haines presented Pace with the Police Citizen’s Award.
“This award can be given to any citizen that assisted the Police Department during a criminal investigation and has assisted the community while doing so,” Haines said.
Haines shared the details in which Pace, who was in the drive-thru line at the fast food eatery, witnessed allegedly Afeni Badu Muhammad stabbing Harris. During the act, Haines said, Pace yelled multiple times at the attacker to “stop.”
“Mr. Pace then used his handgun to fire a warning shot in the air,” Haines said, adding that Pace is a concealed pistol license holder. “His weapon was licensed.”
The suspect reportedly stopped and left the building.
“At this time Mr. Pace exited his vehicle

squarely within the Michigan Sentencing Guidelines,” the press release states. “Given the nature of the offense and the applicable guidelines, a separate conviction would likely result in a comparable term of incarceration.”
Court records from the 41-A District Court in Sterling Heights show charges originating in 2016. He was bound over to the 16th Circuit Court in Macomb County in February 2017. In November 2017, a jury convicted Veach on multiple charges of firstand second-degree criminal sexual conduct, which was appealed.
According to the press release, the issue
of the court closing the courtroom without articulating the reasons on the record to allow a child to testify resulted in the Michigan Supreme Court reversing his conviction and ordering a new trial. The United States Supreme Court denied certiorari — a request of a lower court to have a higher court review the case.
“This sentence brings long-awaited ac-
countability after nearly a decade of litigation, including challenges that reached both the Michigan Supreme Court and the United States Supreme Court,” Macomb County Prosecutor Peter Lucido said in a statement. Veach’s attorney, Kenneth Vernier, declined to comment.

on deposit,” Leonardi said. “And so that gives people freedom that they can go because they know that they’re insured for it.”
Most seniors know where they want to go when they meet with Leonardi and if they don’t, he will ask them identifying questions to choose a destination.
Rita LoGrasso has traveled to many different countries and places with her husband Alan Klinger. She’s been on many different trips including land tours and cruises. She said land tours include walking.
“But they also take into consideration the ages, so they slow it down,” LoGrasso said. “We hit all the highlights and all the ports and all that at a much slower pace.”
She recommends that seniors bring appropriate shoes for their trips. She said not to bring anything with a heel or strappy sandals as they get ripped apart.
“Comfortable sandals, gym shoes, laced up gym shoes, something you’re not going to trip all over,” LoGrasso said. “Got to be comfortable.”
She also recommends light packing in terms of clothing and other things. She explained that when exiting the bus, attendants take their suitcases to their rooms and pick them up afterward.
“So every day or every other day, someone is taking care of your luggage,” LoGrasso said.
LoGrasso said to enjoy and eat normally while on vacation and unless someone is a big drinker, they don’t buy the liquor packages.
Cruise costs are usually paid in installments over a certain time period with Leonardi’s company, LoGrasso said.
“By the time you get on the cruise, it’s all free and clear,” LoGrasso said.
She said seniors can’t beat going to Europe.
“The United States, you can see that anytime, but if you have the opportunity to go abroad and check what your heritage is or your ancestors, you can’t beat it,” LoGrasso said. “It might be a once in a lifetime trip, but well worth it. And take your kids, too, if you got any. If you can afford it.”

designed the Fallen Heroes memorial. He also helped design the Roseville Fallen Heroes Memorial, and the Vietnam Memorial at Freedom Hill in Sterling Heights. Blowers, who grew up in Roseville, died in November 2024.
Blowers’ widow, Lynda Blowers, was presented with a folded U.S. flag in recognition for all he did for the community. Lynda Blowers said her husband served in the Army from 1965 to 1967 as a member of the 101st Airborne Division. He always had a soft spot for veterans, police officers and firefighters.
“He was involved in everything,” Lynda Blowers said. “He was just a passionate guy.”
The ceremony continued when retired Washington Township Fire Chief Dan Last read the names of the 38 first responders as Fraser public safety officer Robert Woonton rang a bell in their honor.
Gary Lewandowski and Bob Woonton, Robert Woonton’s dad, were among the event organizers. Lewandowski said the donations and fundraisers covered the costs of the memorial. He said it was dedicated in 2010.
Those who gathered last week also paid tribute to the nearly 3,000 victims of the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attacks, including the 343 police and firefighters who made the ultimate sacrifice. As one of the guest speakers, Roseville Fire Chief Keith Jacobs reflected on the anniversary of that somber day.
“As all of you do, I remember Sept. 11, 2001, as if it was yesterday. I remember the confusion, the disbelief and the fear that we all experienced that morning,” said Jacobs, also the president of the Macomb County
Fire Chiefs Association. “Then came the anger, followed by sadness and emptiness.”
Standing before the crowd, Jacobs said he felt pride when honoring the fallen heroes of that solemn day, and the local first responders who have made the ultimate sacrifice answering their last call to duty, responding to their final alarm or dispatcher’s call.
“These heroes didn’t hesitate to respond. They did not hesitate to put their lives in danger for a stranger who was scared, alone, reaching out for a hand in their darkest hour. We come together today with heavy hearts, but also with deep gratitude,” Jacobs said. “When the call came, whether it was a cry for help, a house in flames or a danger threatening our community, they did not hesitate. They stepped forward while others stepped back. They knew the risk, and they answered the call.”
Medstar paramedic Barrett Johnson was a sophomore in high school when “the towers were hit.”
“We were dismissed from school and sent home,” Johnson said. “It was hard for me to understand how this heinous act could ever happen. I think about all the lives lost that day. Those individuals saying goodbye to their loved ones for the last time. Wives, husbands and children left behind. It breaks my heart.
“Time goes on. We heal and cope,” Johnson said. “We honor those that lost their lives that day by continuing to do our job. To save the people we can, to help those in need, to remember why we do this.”
The evening ended with taps by retired Roseville Police Detective Sgt. Keith Waller, and a rendition of “Amazing Grace” by the Metro Detroit Pipes & Drums.

Details about how the child support specialty court will operate remain determined. The biggest result of the Sept. 4 meeting was the creation of an advisory board for the specialty court that will include Al-Igoe, Macomb County Sheriff Anthony Wickersham and several members of the prosecutor’s Cooperative Reimburse-
ment Unit. Circuit Court Chief Judge James Biernat is expected to assign a judge to the specialty court, likely bringing the assigned judge on as a member of the advisory board. Other invitees will be representatives from the public defender office, Friend of the Court, Probation Department, the Macomb County Board of Commissioners and the Michigan attorney general’s office.
“We already have courts such as the drug court, the sobriety court, the veterans court, the mental health court,” Lucido said.
“We believe, here at the Macomb County Prosecutor’s Office, that this county will take the initiative and bring together all those units of government — probation, court, Friend of the Court, prosecutor — and join together to assist each other doing their jobs to have a success for those that need the jobs

though Michigan Works! and have a success to get the money to the parent that needs it when the child is young and ultimately have a success that (children) will absolutely have the best chance in life to survive.”
From here, the plan is to run the court as a pilot program to test its effectiveness and see if any legal or statutory hurdles arise that would need to be resolved at the state level. One such hurdle is that the court initially, according to Biernat, will not have the grant funding or statutory support like the 16th Circuit Court’s other specialty courts. Biernat believes this may change should the legislature pass statutes supporting it.
A successful pilot program for the court could lead to the wider adoption of the specialty court, and Lucido says interest in the program across the state is already building.
“There’s other counties that have already made inquiries and that have asked us, ‘What is it that we can look at from your blueprint that we can get ours started,’ so I know it’s already a talk,” Lucido said. “Other judges have had discussions with each other and said, ‘We were really looking forward and excited to see how this rolls out.’”
Along with preparing the advisory board and setting the groundwork for the pilot program, the prosecutor’s office is also working with the Michigan Legislature to allow deferred convictions to extend beyond the current one-year limit, giving payers more time and flexibility to repay owed child support while retaining access to support services.
“Do we bring warrants and have individuals who don’t pay their child support convicted?” Lucido said. “That’s not what our philosophy is here. Our philosophy is let’s get them in, let’s get them on track, let’s get compliance and we don’t have to have a felony on their record because having a felony is another inhibitor standing in the way of getting a good job.
“Compliance is what we’re looking for and this is the way we’re doing it,” Lucido added. “We’ve given you every chance to try to communicate with us. Show up and do your job.”
Beyond getting unemployed payers into employment through Michigan Works!, Lucido says payers who are on Social Security and disability should be able to have the state transfer child support funds from their regular payments.

Pace held the suspect until police officers arrived.
“Mr. Pace’s quick and heroic actions surely protected other employees and cus-
tomers from being harmed and placed a violent homicide suspect into custody,” Haines said. “Thank you sincerely, Mr. Pace, and congratulations for your selfless act for our great community.”
During the meeting, a number of police officers also were recognized for their lifesaving efforts in the line of duty. After the brief ceremony, Mayor Michael Klinefelt acknowledged the honorees.

“We are also looking at expanding that parking to offer more parking spaces. We’re very limited in parking at Crescentwood,” Gibson said. “These buildings were built at a time when we had a lot of walkers to our schools, and now we see a significant number of more parent drop-offs happening.”
No action was taken on the matter during the meeting. School officials plan to hold an input session for residents on the traffic proposal at
Crescentwood, most likely at the end of October or beginning of November.
In the meantime, playground repairs are in the future. At the meeting, the board voted 7-0 to approve playground repairs at the Eastpointe Early Learning Center and three elementary schools: Crescentwood, Pleasantview and Bellview. The repairs will include a variety of items, including replacing some swing seats, chains and connectors; making a variety of repairs to existing equipment; and removing some older equipment at the Eastpointe Early Learning Center.
According to district Communications and Marketing Coordinator Caitlyn Kienitz, repairs will be made as the new parts become available. Larger-scale design changes and equipment upgrades are still in the design stage to be approved for summer 2026 construction.

again, and we couldn’t be more excited,” Kerrie Augustine, sales and marketing manager at Macomb Community College, said in a prepared statement. “This season brings a mix of comedy, concerts, family fun and jaw-dropping spectaculars. One stage. Endless possibilities. From free parking, superb acoustics and not a bad seat in the house, your night out just got better. We look forward to welcoming you to the theater this season.”
The new season kicked off in July.
“We’re off to a great start,” said William Wood, director of cultural affairs and community engagement at Macomb Community College.
One production sure to “Razzle Dazzle” the crowd is the Broadway hit “Chicago,” in town for one night only at 6:30 p.m. Jan. 25, 2026. Set in the vaudevillian days of the 1920s, the famed musical centers on rivals Roxie Hart and Velma Kelly. They are thrown in jail for separate murders and throughout the show sing and dance their way to freedom.
The luck of the Irish will leave an impression when “A Taste of Ireland — The Irish Music & Dance Sensation” performs at 4 p.m. Oct. 26. Audience members will be treated to traditional Irish music with a modern twist.
Homegrown favorites the Macombers, the Macomb Symphony Orchestra, the Macomb Youth Chorus, the Ma-
comb Community College Jazz Band and Jazz Combo, and the Macomb Ballet Company are on the marquee this season.
Wood has a couple favorites of his own this season, including “The Barricade Boys Broadway Party” on Feb. 6, 2026, and the Soweto Gospel Choir on Nov. 1.
“The Barricade Boys all played lead roles in ‘Les Misérables’ in London. They are fantastic, and they’re the most requested group I’ve had that I can remember,” said Wood, adding that after their last show two years ago he heard comments like, “You’ve got to get them back.”
The Soweto Gospel Choir’s concert is called “Peace,” and highlights South African freedom and gospel songs alongside the music of Aretha Franklin, Harry Belafonte, Peter Gabriel, Kate Bush and Judy Garland.
“Their music is so good and so impactful,” Wood said. “There is a lot of energy and a lot of color. They look and sound wonderful. They just have a spirit to them that’s hard to find.”
Theater staff members always try to come up with new acts and returning favorites to book every season.
“We get a lot of input from different places, artists, agents, venues. There is a whole checklist you go down, cost and availability,” Wood said. “We want to have a diverse selection artistically and culturally. I want to make sure the quality is there. We’re here for the patrons to have a good experience the whole evening.”
One such artist is Chris Ruggiero, who will bring his style of ’50s, ’60s and ’70s hits to the stage at 7:30 p.m.
Oct. 25. With a live band and new orchestrations by Charlie Calello, Ruggerio will perform a number of classics, including “Unchained Melody,” “My Cherie Amour” and “This Magic Moment.”
“He is very much like Michael Bublé. He does a lot of the same kind of music. He’s very much a crooner,” Wood said. “Another interesting one in March, the Tartan Terrors. They got bagpipes but they do rock ‘n’ roll music. It’s a wild time.”
Wood encourages residents to take in a show at the Macomb Center for the Performing Arts.
“It’s a very good venue. It’s got great acoustics. Our size makes it a much more intimate venue,” Wood said. “There really isn’t a bad seat in the house. We’re close by and we’ve got free parking.”
To see a complete list of shows or purchase tickets, go to MacombCenter.com or call (586) 286-2222. Tickets also can be purchased in person at the box office. The hours are 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Mondays through Fridays, and also 90 minutes prior to each performance.
College officials have added a disclaimer to the website reminding patrons to be aware of unauthorized ticket resellers, and that tickets purchased from secondary sites often come with high prices and fees. Box office staff cannot guarantee entry with tickets bought from third parties and won’t be able to assist with such tickets, because they won’t have any record of your purchase and will not be able to inform you of any changes/updates about the performance.

Suspect
The findings will help determine whether Muhammad understands the charges against her, and whether she is able to participate in her own defense.
“This evaluation is to ensure that the defendant is mentally competent to stand trial and is a standard step in cases where questions of mental health arise,” Lucido said in a written statement. “This step is essential to protecting the rights of the accused while maintaining the integrity of the judicial process.”
Muhammad’s attorney, Josh Jones, declined to comment on the case by press time.
The original incident occurred the morning of July 10 at the McDonald’s location on the north side of Nine Mile Road, west of Kelly Road, in Eastpointe.
Officers were dispatched to the restaurant at around 7:55 a.m. on reports of a stabbing and a shot fired. There had reportedly been a verbal dispute between Muhammad and her manager, Jennifer Harris, 39, and Harris had sent Muhammad home early.
While Harris tended to a customer at the drive-thru window, Muhammad allegedly returned to the venue brandishing a knife and proceeded to assault Harris in plain sight of the customer.
“The customer first starts yelling — ‘Stop! Stop! Stop!’ — but it had no effect. He then pulled out his gun (which he was reg-
istered to carry) and fired a shot — not trying to hit anyone, but to stop (the suspect),” Eastpointe Police Lt. Alexander Holish said previously.
“The shot startled the assailant. She dropped her knife and ran out the door on the complete opposite side of the restaurant. And the customer — this good Samaritan — he exited his vehicle and chased her, stopping her as she attempted to leave in her truck, and keeping her there at gunpoint until we arrived to arrest her,” he said. “We also took the victim to the hospital, but unfortunately, she was pronounced dead there.”
The victim, Harris, was a mother of six children. She had worked at the McDonald’s restaurant for 15 years.
Muhammad was arraigned the following day, July 11, in 38th District Court before Judge Kathleen Galen, charged with firstdegree premeditated murder, which carries a mandatory life sentence without parole, and carrying a dangerous weapon with unlawful intent, a five-year felony. The judge set Muhammad’s bond at $25 million, cash or surety only. She was held in the Macomb County Jail as of Sept. 8.
According to the Macomb County Prosecutor’s Office, Muhammad was previously convicted in a separate incident involving a knife, which took place in Virginia in April 2022.
In that case, she pleaded guilty in Alexandria Circuit Court to unlawful bodily injury without malicious intent, receiving a four-year suspended sentence and one year of probation, according to online court records.
Holish previously confirmed that an apparent video testimonial that Muhammad posted to Instagram in the days prior to the assault was indeed legitimate.
In the video, Muhammad complains about having been sent home early by Harris multiple days in a row, repeatedly calling Harris “a bully.”
“All that animosity and (expletive) that she keeps putting in the air and stuff and then trying to tell me I’m always snapping on people — no, that’s false. No, I don’t snap on people — I don’t go in there doing that. I told her, ‘No, I make peace.’ That’s what I’m doing,” Muhammad said in the video.
She later concluded her video by saying, “So, you know, she can keep being a bully if she wants to, but that (expletive) is going to catch up to her, because it ain’t funny at all — it ain’t.”
On Sept. 5, Holish explained the next steps in the proceedings.
“In homicide cases, if the defendant is found to be incompetent to stand trial, the prosecution has 15 months to get to the competency level. At this time, she would remain in jail and receive mental health treatment,” he said via email. “After 15 months, if she is still not deemed competent, then she would be transported to the psych ward where she would continue receiving treatment. If at any point she would regain competency, then she would be tried at that time.”
